Why?! Why did you have to run concurrent patches for the live and VIP beta servers today? I'm now seeing a 2hr wait to download a 69mb patch just to get on the Live server and enjoy Halloween! Is there a workaround for this or do I have to wait til tomorrow/the weekend for everyone to finish patching the VIP beta server just so I can enjoy Halloween with my friends?

*so frustrating!!!*

Never mind, I found a workaround. In case someone else has the same issue:

1) Pause City of Heroes (normal game) update.
2) Update COH Subscriber Beta - wait until it begins patching.
3) Pause COH Subscriber Beta update.
4) Resume City of Heroes (normal game) update.

And finished!
